“Was it worth it?” is a question we ask ourselves quite often. If you’re like Seth, then the answer can always be “yes” if you look at the effort you put in as the reward.
While I have that attitude most of the time, some things aren’t worth it and I can’t trick myself into believing the effort I put in was rewarding. So here’s my back-up mentality.
“Can I still make it worth it?”
I don’t give up until I do.
When you or anyone else asks you if it was worth it, “it” doesn’t need to signify an end of effort.
Just as you have the choice to look at effort as the reward, you can look at effort as an ongoing endeavor.
Stay Positive & It’s More Work…But It’s Worth It
